<\/a><\/span><\/i>Connecting with purpose fuels Anke. Helping others clarify purpose deeply aligns with her Noble Goal of inspiring people to connect and collaborate to reach their full potential. She explains \u201cusing EQ we are helping people to connect with themselves, which is EQ\u2019s biggest power: the change you can bring in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n
We sat down with Anke Breternitz to talk about her experience helping people find their life purpose. Sitting in front of a gallery of Noble Goals as her backdrop during her interview, Anke shared her deep passion for working with Noble Goals. At Six Seconds, a Noble Goal is \u201cthe spark that gets you out of bed every morning,\u201d something that continuously inspires you and will live beyond you. It is the driver that allows you to \u201cconnect your daily choices with your overarching sense of purpose.\u201d <Learn more about Pursue Noble Goals in the Six Seconds Model of EQ<\/a>><\/p>\n Anke\u2019s clients work through a process of finding a Noble Goal by starting with a sentence and then creating a picture which represents their vision to anchor the meaning for them (more about her process below). When Anke looks at her wall of Noble Goals, she can see these symbols of her clients and their stories, the families and communities around them, reminding her the impact that finding their purpose has on those people\u2019s lives. \u201cWhen I look at those starting points I remember my clients and I feel really proud because I inspired them a bit with the help of this Noble Goal exercise which is really amazing. This is my favorite tool, because there you can really see people take their life in their own hands again, and they go for it. There is so much power and motivation there.\u201d<\/p>\n She created the wall to measure and make visible her work as a coach and her clients\u2019 improvements. Having so many Noble Goals on display helps Anke remind herself of the impact she contributed to her own Noble Goal and inspires others to deepen their commitment. \u201cI’m really a wholehearted and passionate coach. Seeing what impact I can make with coaching on my clients is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Anke has over 28 years experience in the international corporate environment. She was working in a company as a recruiter, communications manager and trainer for managers and employees in HR related topics. What she loved about it was dealing with people, the flexibility and the high recognition and appreciation she was given within the company, but she felt something was missing. Having always been working with people is the reason for being a coach now; coaching is something that truly comes from her heart. She says: \u201cfor me it\u2019s a privilege to be able to help people. It\u2019s amazing and really deep for me.\u201d During the time working for the company she found out that most of people\u2019s struggles were about communication style and the competencies of Emotional Intelligence. After years of coaching experience in her country (Germany) she realized that most Germans are not so used to expressing their emotions – when asked how they feel, they simply answer \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d with no shades in between. This insight led her to bring the message \u201cfeel your emotions” in her country, to teach that it is possible to feel multiple emotions at the same time, to allow people to have a better contact and understanding with each other, and to feel empathy for other people by bringing EQ language in their daily lives.<\/p>\n (continues below)<\/span><\/i><\/p>","tablet":" There\u2019s power in purpose \u2014 when clients connect to purpose, it\u2019s a lever for change.

There’s power in purpose — when clients connect to purpose, it’s a lever for change. As coaches, when we can see and feel purpose, it fuels us to go beyond what we could do before.

Working with people coming from different ages, backgrounds and professional spheres, Anke noticed that there are two groups of people who struggle the most finding their Noble Goal: the young adults embarking a new chapter of life and dealing with transitions, and people over fifty, who say they want to start doing something meaningful in their life, because doing the same things everyday for years doesn\u2019t make any sense to them anymore. Anke suggests that the uncertainty of today is pushing people to feel urgency to take part in making the world better. She thinks we are poised to have a great impact on trust and empathy in the world, but there\u2019s so much more we could do. Anke shares the surprise her clients feel by the power and consequence of connecting to emotions in their lives – emotions are essential data to better understand oneself and to find one\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n
Anke explained the process through which she guides people in order to help them find their Noble Goal and how she includes EQ assessments and tools into it. First, together with the client they agree upon an objective to achieve and a journey (with specific steps and topics and they see as they go what to add as new insights come in). Finding the Noble Goal is something which she puts at the very beginning as she starts making the client reflect on what are their core values, and they cocreate a balance scale<\/a> in terms of what takes energy and what gives energy to the person.<\/p>\n Building on this, over several coaching sessions, Anke and client reflect on the current state of the world, and where the client feels pulled toward making a difference. Building on values and what gives them energy, Anke explains Six Seconds definition and five criteria of a Noble Goal<\/a>. The client begins to craft a vision. Anke says that in this process, they are also building trust in themselves and seeing where to build more trust in the future. She shared that once the client has come up with their first version of the Noble Goal you can already tell by their face and body language their satisfaction and ease, as they find themselves with a compass, a polar star giving them a direction to follow, and they can do some step everyday towards that goal.<\/p>\n At the end of this brainstorming process which takes multiple sessions, the client has a sentence representing the Noble Goal. As a final step, Anke has the client look for a picture to symbolize their Noble Goal. Anke puts the words and picture together and sends that to the clients \u2013 and she puts it on her own wall to remind her of her purpose as a coach. Many clients add their picture as screen cover on their phones so they can be reminded of their Noble Goals every day.<\/p>\n Anke\u2019s work has become more than supporting clients. She connected with her own Noble Goal to inspire people to connect and collaborate to reach their full potential. The same way she now helps others, Six Seconds helped her transform her life. Anke has always been very energetic and passionate about what she has been doing over the years. She shared \u201cI\u2019m always so excited about what I\u2019m doing because I wake up every day looking forward to meeting my clients, which is something very beautiful to think about in the morning already.\u201d While she loved her old job as well and she\u2019s thankful for it, she realized that it was not something she was truly doing for herself, and that was what made her decide to quit and become an EQ coach. Anke says: \u201cThe wall of Noble Goals for me is a constant reminder that I am exactly where I want to be. I can feel that now I am deciding, I am the owner of my life and this is an amazing feeling\u201d.<\/p>\n Thank you Anke for sharing your EQ journey with us!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you would like to share your story and be featured in future newsletters please email maddalena.campitelli@6seconds.org<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0———————-<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bWant more resources about about Purpose, Noble Goals and its process?<\/span><\/p>\n How to Be a Great Leader: Harnessing the Power of Noble Goals<\/a><\/p>\n Illuminate: Crafting Your Noble Goal<\/a><\/p>\n A Look That Spoke A Thousand Words: A tribute to a woman so inspirational that she\u2019s leaving people speechless years after her passing<\/a><\/p>\n How to Increase Motivation by Finding Life Purpose<\/a><\/p>\n Why Telling Your Coaching Clients to \u201cFind Your Purpose\u201d is Bad Advice.<\/a> Purpose is made, not found: 3 practical tips to grow purpose with EQ<\/p>","tablet":" Anke became a professional coach both for clients working on personal development (helping people looking for a career change, or seeking help finding themselves, or those feeling stuck) and businesses goals (focusing on leadership and teams).
